1 Peter 4
1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
Nipele pakuŵa Kilisito ŵasawiche mu chiilu, nomwe ŵakwe nlilimbisye nkuganisya iyoyo mpela yatite kuŵa jwelejo, pakuŵa jwelejo jwasawiche mu chiilu, alekangene ni sambi.
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.
Ni mmwe ŵakwe chitandile sambano, mmoŵa genu gagasigele pachilambo pano, kasintama kwa kusikuya tama syangalumbana syampagwile nasyo, nambo ntame kwa unonyelo wa Akunnungu.
3 For enough time in the past has been spent doing the will of the unbelievers, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
Pakuŵa katema kakapite ka umi wetu mwakwete katema kakaleu kakupanganya indu yaakupanganya ŵandu ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu. Mwatemi mu chigwagwa ni tama syangalumbana ni indimba yakutendekasya soni ni kupopela inyago yaikwachima Akunnungu.
4 They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:
Sambano, ŵele ŵandu ŵangakwamanya Akunnungu akunsimonga ŵanyamwe pakummona ndi ngankukamulangana nawo sooni mu ipanganyo yao ya soni, nipele akuntukananga.
5 who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Nambo ŵele ŵandu chachiliŵalanga achinsyene indu yao paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵakutama chile kwalamula ŵajumi ni ŵawe.
6 For this reason also the Good News was preached to those who are now dead, that they might be judged according to man in the flesh, but might live according to God in the Spirit.
Lyele lili ligongo lyati Ngani Jambone jalalichilwe ilaila kwa ŵawe, kuti alamulikwe mu iilu yao yakuti akusachilwa kuwa nti ŵandu ŵane. Ngani Jambone ji jalalichilwe kwa ŵanyawo kuti mu utame wao wa chimbumu akole umi mpela Akunnungu yatite kuŵa ŵajumi.
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.
Nambo mbesi ja indu yose jiŵandichile. Nkusachilwa mme ni lunda, nlitawale mwachinsyene ni kupopela.
8 Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
Kwipunda yose nnonyelane jwine ni jwine kwa ntima wenu wose, pakuŵa unonyelo ukuunichila sambi syejinji.
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
Mpochelangane jwine ni jwine pangadandaula.
10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
Jwalijose akusachilwa atumichileje ntulilo wakwe wapegwilwe ni Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya ŵane. Naga akutenda yeleyo chaŵe jwakulindilila jwambone jwa ntulilo wauliwose umpegwilwe ni Akunnungu.
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Jwakulalichila jwalijose, akusachilwa kuutyosya utenga wa Akunnungu. Ni jwakutumichila, atumichile malinga ni machili gapegwilwe ni Akunnungu, kuti ajinichilwe Akunnungu mu yose kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito. Ukulu ni ukombole uŵe kwa ŵelewo moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Eloo. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
Ŵakunonyelwa, nkakusimonga kupotekwa ligongo lya kulinjikwa kwakukulungwa. Kasimmalanga kuti chili chindu chachilendo kukwenu.
13 But because you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
Nambo nsengwanje pakuŵa nkusyoŵekana mmasausyo gao Kilisito, kuti nkombole kusengwa kwakupunda katema pachiunukulikwe ukulu wao.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
Nkwete upile iŵaga ŵandu chantukane kwa ligongo lya Kilisito, chelechi chikulosya kuti Mbumu jwa ukulu, yani Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, akutama nomwe.
15 For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.
Akapagwa jwalijose mwenumwe jwakuŵajilwa kusauka ligongo ndi jwakuulaga pane jwawii pane jwakutenda yangalumbana ni jwakulijinjisya mmasengo ga ŵane.
16 But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
Nambo iŵaga nkusauka ligongo ndi jwakunkuya Kilisito, ikantenda soni, nambo mwakusye Akunnungu pakuŵa mmwe ndi jwakwe Kilisito.
17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey the Good News of God?
Pakuŵa katema ka ulamusi kaiche, ni ulamusi wo ukutanda kwa ŵandu wakwe Akunnungu asyene. Ni kulamulikwa ko iŵaga kukutanda kukwetu uwe, mbesi jakwe chijiŵe uli kwa ŵandu ŵangakujitichisya Ngani Jambone ja Akunnungu.
18 And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Iŵaga ili yakulimba kwa mundu jwali jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kukulupuswa, chiŵe uli kwa jwangakwalamba Akunnungu ni jwali ni sambi?”
19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
Nipele, ŵele ŵakusauka ligongo lya kusaka kwao Akunnungu, akusachilwa aliŵiche achinsyene mmakono mwa Akunnungu jwaali Jwakugumba jwao jwakukulupilichika, ni kwendelechela kupanganya yambone.
